Unlawful Waseelah

LETTER NO.7

Bismillah hir Rahman nir Raheem(In the name of ALLAH, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful).

May the Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon the Imaam of all Prophets, Imaam of the Ummah, Imaam of Mujahideen, our Holy Prophet-Muhammad (saws), and on those who follow his (saws) guidance till the Day of Judgement.

ASSALAMU ALAIKUM WA RAHMATULLAHI WA BARAKATAHU

In the previous letter I had said that inshaALLAH we will know the Lawful and Unlawful types of Waseelah. First we will discuss the Unlawful type of Waseelah.

Unlawful Waseelah:- Yes there are certain types of Waseelah which are Haraam. The proof of intercession(that is worshipping idols, beseeching them for relief and fulfilling needs, and taking them for intercessors with ALLAH is Shirk) is the following verse:

ALLAH says:

“And they worship beside ALLAH that which neither harms them nor benefits them; and they say, ‘These are our intercessors with ALLAH.’ Say, not in the heavens or in the earth. How far is ALLAH from that which they ascribe (as partners) to HIM.” (surah-10, verse-18)

                                                                So the kind of Waseelah a lot of people take, like asking the dead (be it Prophets, saints or any human being), making the graves or tombs as a Waseelah is Haraam. For eg:-Asking Abdul Qadir Jeelani (may ALLAH have mercy on him) or any Wali (who is dead) is all FORBIDDEN and HARAAM. It is Haraam because this is not the way of our Prophet (saws) and his students and companions(may ALLAH be pleased with them all).

Some people say we worship them so that they bring us near to ALLAH.

Listen to what ALLAH says:

“Verily, WE have sent down the Book to you (O Muhammad(saws)) in truth: So worship ALLAH(Alone) by doing religious deeds sincerely for ALLAH’s sake only, and not to show off, and not to set up rivals with HIM in worship. Surely, the religion(i,e. the worship and the obedience) is for ALLAH only. And those who take ‘Auliya’(protectors and helpers) besides HIM(say): ‘We worship them only that they may bring us near to ALLAH.’ Verily, ALLAH will judge between them concerning that wherein they differ. Truly, ALLAH guides not him who is a liar, and a disbeliever,” (surah-39, verse-2,3)

Now you know that even the Mushrikeen used to do the same thing as a lot of people do now and they were MUSHRIK, and if we have muslim names and do it  then we also will be in the category of Mushrikeen. And those who invoke besides ALLAH will go to HELL.

The Messenger of ALLAH(saws) said:

“Whoever dies while invoking a partner besides ALLAH will enter Hell Fire.” (Al-Bukhari, Fath-ul-Bari-8/176)

It is thus clear that whoever takes a King or a Prophet or a Jinn or a stone or a tree for the purpose of invocation along with ALLAH and seeks their help or tries to gain nearness to them by offering vows and sacrifices in the hope that they may intercede with ALLAH on his behalf, or in the hope of getting cured from some illness, or of safeguarding of wealth or safety for a person who is away or for any other purpose, commits the major crime of SHIRK.

Moreover, these people who invoke the dead, the dead can’t even hear their calls and is unaware of their practices.

ALLAH says:

“And who is more astray than one who invokes besides ALLAH, such as will not answer him to the Day of Judgement and who (in fact) are unconscious of their call of them.” (surah-46, verse-5)   

These dead can not even help themselves and are created and the Creator of all is ALLAH.

ALLAH says:

“Do they attribute as partners to ALLAH those who created nothing but they themselves are created? No help can they give them, nor can they help themselves.” (surah-7, verse-191,192) 

And these so called saints or even the religious people or for that matter the Prophets are nothing but slaves like all of us.

ALLAH says:

“Verily, those whom you call upon besides ALLAH are slaves like you. So call upon them and let them answer you if you are truthful.” (surah-7, verse-194)     

O brothers and sisters, please stop this Shirk if you were involved in such practices.

I request you all to repent to ALLAH and don’t repeat it, inshaALLAH you will be forgiven and start stopping people from these Evil.

ALLAH says:

“Verily, ALLAH forgives not that partners should be set up with HIM in worship, but HE forgives except that(anything else) to whom HE pleases, and whoever sets up partners with ALLAH in worship, he has indeed invented a tremendous sin.” (surah-4, verse-48)

May ALLAH guide all of us and save us from all types of Unlawful types of Waseelah, and open our heart and mind to accept the truth, aameen.

WASEELAH (To approach ALLAH)

LETTER NO.6

Bismillah hir Rahman nir Raheem(In the name of ALLAH, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful).

May the Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon the Imaam of all Prophets, Imaam of the Ummah, Imaam of Mujahideen, our Holy Prophet-Muhammad (saws), and on those who follow his (saws) guidance till the Day of Judgement.

TO      :- MY DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS

ASSALAMU ALAIKUM WA RAHMATULLAHI WA BARAKATAHU

By the help of my LORD, ALLAH I have started my 6^th letter. I hope the previous letters were easy to understand and in simple form. I try to keep it very simple as I want to make my Daawah for all, from a common person to a qualified person as well. InshaALLAH in this letter we will be starting a new topic and that is “WASEELAH” (Means to approach ALLAH).

WASEELAH or MEANS(To approach ALLAH) :- It means to seek the means to do things. But the waseelah which we are discussing is the waseelah to approach ALLAH. When it comes to Shariah, then we must follow what Prophet Muhammad(saws) and his Sahaba(companions of the Prophet(saws)) did and ordered us to do.

Shariah is based on only 2 things:

1.Qur’an- ALLAH’s word.

2.Hadeeth- Prophet’s(saws) statement.

ALLAH says:        

“O you who believe! Do your duty to ALLAH and fear HIM. And seek the means of approach toHIM, and strive hard in HIS Cause(as much as you can), so that you may be successful.” (surah-5, verse-35)  

When we are told to seek the “Waseelah”(means) to approach ALLAH, then we have also been shown the kind of “Waseelah” which is lawful. But we must also know that many people who take this verse as a proof and do ‘SHIRK’ by practicing the unlawful and haraam “Waseelah”. It is quite strange that when the QUR’AN CLEARLY FORBIDS SHIRK AND TELLS US TO BE AWAY FROM SHIRK, HOW CAN THE SAME QUR’AN TELL US TO DO SHIRK?

This is because we have read the verse and acted upon it in the way of our elders or the way of scholars who not follow the RIGHT PATH of SAHABA(companions of the Prophet(saws)). The best way is to know that this verse was revealed on our Prophet(saws) and the best people were Sahaba who will understand it the best and will act upon it in the best possible way.

InshaALLAH we will know the Lawful and Unlawful types of Waseelah.

To make it easy for you readers, I have decided to discuss the Lawful and Unlawful types in the next letters. This is because this topic is very delicate and it must be understood clearly as most of the people deviate from the Correct Path.

May ALLAH guide all of us to the Straight Path, aameen.

FORMS OF WORSHIP

LETTER NO.5

Bismillah hir Rahman nir Raheem(In the name of ALLAH, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful).

May the Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon the Imaam of all Prophets, Imaam of the Ummah, Imaam of Mujahideen, our Holy Prophet-Muhammad (saws), and on those who follow his (saws) guidance till the Day of Judgement.

FROM:- ABU HAFS

TO      :- MY DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS

ASSALAMU ALAIKUM WA RAHMATULLAHI WA BARAKATAHU

Alhamdulillah, I have started my 5^th letter of the series. Now we will be discussing about the “FORMS OF WORSHIP”. As we have been learning that we must not associate anyone else in worship along with ALLAH, then it is very important to know how many forms of worship are.

FORMS OF WORSHIP:- First of all we must worship only ALLAH, because HE is our CREATOR and HE has ordered us to worship HIM alone.

ALLAH says:

“O men, worship your LORD Who has created you and those who were before you, that you may guard yourselves(against ALLAH’s chastisement). HE who made the earth a bed for you, and the heaven a roof, and sent down water from the heaven, and therewith brought forth fruits for your sustenance; so set not up equals to ALLAH while you know(the truth).” (surah-2,verse-21,22)

“And the places of worship belong to ALLAH, therefore, worship none beside ALLAH.” (surah-72,verse-18)

“And I(ALLAH) created not the jinns and men except they worship ME.” (surah-51,verse-56)

Who so dedicates any act of worship to other than ALLAH is a Mushrik(Polytheist), even if he performs prayers, observes fasting, performs Haj or alleges to be a Muslim.

ALLAH says:

“And he who calls on another god along with ALLAH, which he has no proof, his LORD(ALLAH) shall hold him accountable for. Surely, the disbelievers never prosper.” (surah-23,verse-117)

“And your LORD(ALLAH) has decreed that you worship none but HIM(ALLAH)…” (surah-17,verse-23)

The forms of worship in which anyone is joined with ALLAH will do SHIRK. These are the forms:-

1. Supplication:

    Proof:- ALLAH says:

    “And your LORD said, ‘Call on ME and I will respond to you. Verily, those who are arrogant to  worship ME shall enter Hell-Fire, despised.”
(surah-40,verse-60)

Prophet(saws) said:

“Supplication is the worship.”  (at-Tirmidhi, ibn-Majah and Ahmad)

2. Fear of ALLAH:

    Proof:- ALLAH says:

    “And fear them not, but fear ME if you are (true) believers.” (surah-3, verse-175)

3. Hoping for ALLAH’s mercy:

    Proof: ALLAH says:

   “So let him who hopes to meet his LORD do good deeds, and let him worship none besides ALLAH.”

    (surah-18, verse-110)

4. Trust in ALLAH:

    Proof: ALLAH says:

    “And on ALLAH depend if you are (true) believers.”                        (surah-5, verse-23)

    “And he who depends on ALLAH, HE suffices him.”                        (surah-65,verse-3)

5. Desire for ALLAH’s mercy, Fear of HIS punishment and Humbleness:

    Proof: ALLAH says:

    “ They used to vie with one another in good deeds, and they called on US with desire

     and fear and they humbled themselves for US.”
     (surah-21, verse-90)

6. Veneration (or fear with reverence):

    Proof: ALLAH says:

    “So fear them not, but fear ME.” (surah-5,verse-3)

     (Note: This is a different verse from the one which was given as a proof for Fear of

       ALLAH.)

7. Repentance:

    Proof: ALLAH says:

    “And repent to your LORD and submit to HIM.”  (surah-39, verse-54)

8. Seeking ALLAH’s support:

    Proof: ALLAH says:

    “You alone do we worship, and from You alone do we seek help.” (surah-1, verse-5)

     The Prophet(saws) said:

    “And if you seek help, seek ALLAH’s help.” (at-Tirmidhi)

    (Note: This Prophetic statement is part of a long hadeeth in which the Prophet(saws)

                instructed Abdullah ibn Abbas(raa), saying: ‘Young Lad! Observe ALLAH,

                HE preserves you. Observe ALLAH, you find HIM ahead of you. If you ask,

                ask ALLAH, and if you seek help, seek ALLAH’s help….’ [at-Tirmidhi] )

9. Seeking ALLAH’s protection:

    Proof: ALLAH says:

  “Say, ‘I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind, the King of mankind.’” (surah-114, verse-1,2)

10. Asking for Aid of ALLAH:

      Proof: ALLAH says:

      “And when you sought aid of ALLAH, HE responded to you(saying); ‘I am aiding

        you with a thousand angels following one another,” (surah-8, verse-9)

11. Sacrificing animals:

      Proof: ALLAH says:

      “Say, ‘My prayer and my sacrificial animal, my life and death are all for ALLAH, the

        LORD of the worlds. HE has no partner. And so I am commanded, and I am the first

        of those who submit.” (surah-6, verse-162,163)

       The Prophet(saws) said:

       “ALLAH has cursed anyone who sacrifice to other(objects) than ALLAH.” (Muslim, No-1978)

12. Vow:

      Proof: ALLAH says:

      “Thet fulfill their vows, and they fear a Day the woe of which is widespread.” (surah-76, verse-7)

                                                                     
You might be thinking that praying salaah, fasting, performing Haj, doing dhikr and other such acts are not worship? It is worship which everyone knows, but these forms are not known as worship to a lot of people. Therefore if we join anyone else in any form of worship with ALLAH, then we are doing SHIRK.

May ALLAH save all of us from any kind of SHIRK, aameen.

SHIRK or POLYTHEISM

LETTER NO.4

Bismillah hir Rahman nir Raheem(In the name of ALLAH, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful).

May the Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon the Imaam of all Prophets, Imaam of the Ummah, Imaam of Mujahideen, our Holy Prophet-Muhammad (saws), and on those who follow his (saws) guidance till the Day of Judgement.

FROM:- ABU HAFS

TO      :- MY DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS

ASSALAMU ALAIKUM WA RAHMATULLAHI WA BARAKATAHU

Alhamdulillah, this is my fourth letter of the series. I am thankful to ALLAH for this. The previous letters might have given you an idea about my DAAWAH. Now inshaALLAH I will be discussing about the most EVIL of SINS, and i,e SHIRK.

SHIRK or POLYTHEISM :- It is the worst sin. It means worshipping other gods besides ALLAH, and setting up rivals to ALLAH, when it is HE(ALLAH) alone who have created all of us.

Narrated Abu Bakr(raa) that the Prophet(saws) said:

“May I inform you of the greatest sin? (He(saws) repeated it thrice) they(the companions) said: we said: yes, O Messenger of ALLAH(saws)! He(saws) said: “Ascribing of partners to ALLAH(in worship).” 

(Saheeh Bukhari, no-2511)

Any other sin might be forgiven, but SHIRK will never be forgiven.

ALLAH says:

“Verily, ALLAH forgives not that partners should be set up wiyh HIM(in worship), but HE forgives except that (anything else) to whom HE wills; and whoever sets up partners with ALLAH in worship, he has invented a tremendous sin.”

(surah-4,verse-48)

ALLAH never forgives SHIRK. But if a person sincerely repents and does not do it again, then, if ALLAH wills HE might forgive.

Note:-I am giving you an example here, just for getting an idea about our topic, and no way am I ever comparing ourselves with our CREATOR, our LORD, ALLAH.

If we have a servant, and we are paying him to work for us, giving him food, clothes and even a room to stay, and he starts working or helping your neighbour or anyone else for that matter, inspite of the fact that he is employed by you, and moreover stops obeying you and work properly, then what will you do?

Yes, you will definitely throw him out of the job.

Being a common human being we can get so angry and dismiss our servant, then why will not the MOST HIGH, MOST GREAT, ALLAH GET ANGRY over us.

ALLAH has more right to punish us, because HE is the one who has created us and asked us to worship HIM alone without associating any partners with HIM.

ALLAH says:

“So set not equals to ALLAH while you know(there is none equal to HIM).”

                                                                                        (surah-2,verse-22)

A lot of people go to Dargahs(places were there is a grave and tomb erected, and people gather there for celebrating a lot of innovations), and prostrate in front of the graves of religious people and saints( most of them don’t even know whose grave is at that place).

Whereas the first part of the kalima(first pillar of ISLAM) is “None has the right to be worshipped but ALLAH”, but even after confessing it they still go to graves and prostrate on graves. Without doubt it is SHIRK.

ALLAH says:

“O you who believe! Bow down, prostrate yourselves, and adore your LORD; and do good; that you may prosper.”

(surah-22,verse-77)

When ALLAH says us to prostrate HIM, then how can we give this right to anyone else?

Qais din Saad(raa) states:  When I arrived at Heera(Town of Yemen) I saw its citizens prostrating before their ruler. I thought that the Messenger of ALLAH(saws) (when compared to these rulers) is more entitled to prostration. When I visited the Messenger of ALLAH(saws), I said: O Messenger of  ALLAH(saws)! I have seen the citizens of Heera prostrating before their ruler, although you are more entitled to prostration. The Messenger of ALLAH(saws) replied: Tell me! Will you prostrate before my grave? I said: No. The Messenger of ALLAH(saws) stated: Then even now do not prostrate before me.

(Saheeh Abu Dawood, vol-2, No-2135)

Now it is quite clear that when it is not allowed to prostrate before the grave of  the most Noble of all, the Imaam of all the Prophets, the Messenger of ALLAH(saws), then how will it be permissible to prostrate in front of the grave of anyone else?

Prophet(saws) said:

“Whoever dies while invoking a partner besides ALLAH will enter the Hell Fire.”

                                                       (Saheeh Bukhari, Fath-ul-bari,vol-8, no.-176)

May ALLAH save us from these worst sin which will lead man to HELL, aameen. May ALLAH guide all of us to the straight path, aameen.

Alhamdulillah, my 4^th letter has been completed and soon inshaALLAH I will be sending the 5^th letter to you.

May ALLAH guide all of us to the TRUE PATH. Aameen.

ASSALAMU ALAIKUM WA RAHMATULLAHI WA BARAKATAHU

Alhamdulillah, this is my 3^rd letter of the series. I hope that you have been benefited from my previous 2 letters. In this letter we will be throwing some light on the main pillar of  ISLAM, which is  ‘La Ilaha illALLAH’ (None has the right to be worshipped but ALLAH).

LA ILAHA ILLAH :- This is the first confession of a muslim, and it means “None has the right to be worshipped but ALLAH”.

When we say ‘La’-‘None’, then we deny all gods and everything is gone. Nothing is left.

When we say ‘But ALLAH’ then it is only and only ALLAH.

Just to say that  No one is worthy of worship is not enough but we have to follow it by our practices. Only ALLAH is worthy of worship, so to save ourselves from any sort of SHIRK(associating partners to ALLAH) we must know how many forms of worship are.

Here I will be giving just the names of  the forms of worship and in the coming letters InshaALLAH I will have a separate topic on forms of worship with proofs from QUR’AN and HADEETH.

ALLAH is the only one whom we must worship and the forms of it are:

Supplication, Fear, Hoping, Trust, Desire, Veneration, Repentance, Seeking ALLAH’s support, Seeking ALLAH’s Protection, Asking for Aid, Sacrificing animals, Vow.

The difference between a Muslim and a non-Muslim is ‘La ilaha illALLAH’.

ALLAH says:

“ALLAH bears witness that la ilaha illa huwa( none has the right to be worshipped by the), and the angels, and those having knowledge(also give this witness);(HE is always maintaining HIS creation in Justice. La ilaha illa huwa, the ALL-MIGHTY, the ALL- WISE.” 

(surah-3, verse-18)

“And WE did not send any Messenger before you (O Muhammad(saws)) but WE inspired him(saying): la ilaha illa ana[None has the right to be worshipped but I(ALLAH)], so worship ME(alone and no one else)

(surah-21, verse-25)

Narrated Uthman(raa) that the Prophet(saws) said:

“One who dies in a state where he is aware of the fact that ‘None has the right to be worshipped but ALLAH’, he shall be admitted to Paradise.”

(Saheeh Muslim)

Narrated Tariq bin Ashyam Al-Ashja’i(raa) that the Prophet(saws) said:

“Whoever accepts the Oneness of  ALLAH and disbelieves whatever is worshipped other than ALLAH, enjoys the protection of ALLAH in his wealth, blood and his reward is with ALLAH.”

(Saheeh Muslim)

There are a lot of such verses and ahadeeth about our topic ‘la ilaha illALLAH’.

Now we must our self decide whether or not we truly believe from our heart that “None has the right to be worshipped but ALLAH”. If we believe then we must direct each and every act of worship to ALLAH alone.

In a hadeeth the Prophet(saws) said that the best remembrance is—‘la ilaha illALLAH ‘.

I hope you all find this to be useful for your faith and belief.

May ALLAH guide all of us to the straight path, aameen.

  

NOTE:- To perform any kind of worship specially on the 27^th of Rajab and thinking it to be the Night of Mairaj is “BID’AH”( Innovation). As it is not proved by any source, infact there is no authentic report to support such claim, and, moreover neither our Prophet(saws) told us to do anything special on that day nor did the sahaba(companions of Prophet(saws).

Even if we agree this night to be the Night of Mairaj(but it is not), the Prophet(saws) never did do any sort of worship specially on it nor did his sahaba. When our Prophet (saws)did not do it nor his sahaba then we must never do it as it is BID’AH.

Narrated Ayesha(raa) that the Messenger of ALLAH(saws) said:

“Whoever has done an act which is not in the religion that deed is rejected by ALLAH.”

 Saheeh-(Bukhari and Muslim)

Narrated Irbaadh bin Saaria(raa) that the Messenger of ALLAH(saws) said:

“Save yourself from introducing anything new in the religion, because every innovation will make you go astray.” 

Saheeh-(Ibn-e-Majah) 

May ALLAH guide all of us to the TRUE PATH. Aameen.

TAWHEED - Oneness of God

LETTER NO.2

Bismillah hir Rahman nir Raheem(In the name of ALLAH, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful).

May the Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon the Imaam of all Prophets, Imaam of the Ummah, Imaam of Mujahideen, our Holy Prophet-Muhammad(saws), and on those who follow his(saws) guidance till the Day of Judgement.

TO      :- MY DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS

ASSALAMU ALAIKUM WA RAHMATULLAHI WA BARAKATAHU

This is my 2^nd letter. Hope my 1^st letter was informative and useful. By the help of ALLAH, I started this 2^nd letter. In this letter I will be writing about the most important aspect of ISLAM, and i,e. TAWHEED.

Topic: TAWHEED :- 

Tawheed means declaring ALLAH to be the only TRUE GOD, who deserves to be worshipped in truth and confirming all attributes with which HE has qualified HIMSELF or that are attributed to HIM by HIS Messenger(saws).

To get a clear picture of Tawheed, we will divide it into 3 categories:-

1.Tawheed ar-Ruboobiyah:- It is declaring ALLAH to be the ONE and UNIQUE in HIS work, like creation, sustenance, bringing to life, causing death, giving children, solving problems etc..

ALLAH says:

“Were they created of nothing, or were they themselves the creators?”

“ALLAH is the Creator of all things, and HE is the Guardian and Disposer of all affairs.”

                                                         

You must know that even the mushrikeen of Makkah believed in Tawheed ar-Ruboobiyah. As is proved in this aayah,

ALLAH says:

“If you ask them, who it is that created the heavens and the earth, they will certainly say, “ALLAH”. Say(O Muhammad(saws)):”All praise be to ALLAH.” But most of them understand not.”

NOTE:- Tawheed ar-Ruboobiyah(Islamic Monotheism for ALLAH’s Lordship) is not enough to embrace ISLAM unless Tawheed al-Uloohiya(Islamic Monotheism for ALLAH’s Worship) is also adopted. It is not enough because the people who accepted that ALLAH is the creator were Mushrikeen, and rejected to accept that ALLAH is the only One worthy of worship, like a lot of us do by joining saints, prophets ,religious people etc. with ALLAH.

2.Tawheed al-Uloohiya:- It is called Tawheed al-Uloohiya(Oneness of Worship), which means to perform Monotheism for ALLAH in worship because HE only deserves to be worshipped not anybody else, no matter how noble and how honorable he is.

So all acts of worship must be for ALLAH alone.

InshaALLAH we will be discussing how many Forms of Worship there are. And in any form of worship if we do it for anyone else other than ALLAH then it is SHIRK, and SHIRK is not at all pardonable. Any act done for ALLAH will save you and the same if it is done for others is SHIRK.

3.Tawheed al-Asma was-Sifaat:- It is to affirm of all the Divine Names and Attributes of

ALLAH in a manner that suits HIS Majesty, as mentioned in the QUR’AN and SUNNAH. 

                                                        

We must believe in all HIS Names and all HIS Qualities as did the Sahaba(companions of the Prophet(saws)), without any distortion, suspension, adaptation or likening.

ALLAH says:

“The most beautiful Names belong to ALLAH: so call on HIM by them.”

“(ALLAH) said: ‘O Iblis(Satan)! What prevents you from prostrating yourself to one whom I have created with Both My Hands. Are you too proud(to fall prostrate to Adam) or are you one of the high exalted?” 

(surah-38, verse-75) 

                      

                                                       When ALLAH says that HE created Adam with HIS hands then we must believe it. We must believe ALLAH has hands, but at the same time we must not imagine or compare our hands.

For eg:- Our hands are not the same as the hands of animals. When these are not the same then how can the hands of our CREATOR be like any of HIS creations’.

There are many such attributes of ALLAH which are in the QUR’AN and HADEETH, like ALLAH’s face, shin, eyes and those things which are mentioned.

JUST BELIEVE ALLAH HAS HANDS, EYES, FACE and whatever comes to us clearly in the Qur’an and Hadeeth. but don’t try to imagine how are they.

THIS WAS WHAT THE Ahle Bait a.s & SAHABA r.a DID.

May ALLAH guide all of us to the TRUE PATH. Aameen.

To    :-  My Dear Brothers and Sisters

 ASSALAMU ALAIKUM WA RAHMATULLAHI WA BARAKATAHU

  This is a letter from your brother, who would like to let you all know some of the correct teachings of ISLAM according to QUR’AN AND HADEETH.

Please go through it and feel free to give your opinions. I will be waiting for all your opinions and even criticism, INSHAALLAH.

I pray to ALLAH that may HE guide me in saying and writing down the TRUTH and save me from the evil of SHAITAAN, aameen.

The first thing to be mentioned is this QUESTION

Topic :WHY WERE WE CREATED?

Nothing is done without a purpose for eg:-We buy apples to eat, we go to bed for rest and sleep, we go to masjid to pray, and there are a lot of such examples.

When we the created ones do not do anything without purpose, then how can our CREATOR do something without a purpose.

Therefore, there is a purpose in our Creation as well.

ALLAH says:-

“And I(ALLAH) created not the jinns and men except they should worship ME(ALLAH) (Alone).”                                                                                          
S-51, VERSE-56.

When it is clear that we were born to worship ALLAH, then we must also know what kind of worship it is. It is not that we must leave this world, our family and all other activities and go to some place and keep on repeating ALLAH’s names or stand on one feet and read QUR’AN. The concept of worship is given in the 2 main sources, and i,e. Qur’an  and Hadeeth, and it is been practically shown by our IDEAL, Prophet Muhammad(saws).Any kind of worship done which is not according to the way of our Prophet Muhammad(saws) will be termed as BID’AH(Innovation), and all Innovations are misguidance.

Narrated Irbaadh (raa) that the Messenger of ALLAH (saws) said:

“People! Save yourself from innovations.”                                 
Hasan-(Ibne Abi Aasim)

Narrated Ayesha (raa) that the Messenger of ALLAH(saws) said:

“Whoever has done an act which is not in the religion that deed is rejected by ALLAH.”
Saheeh-(Bukhari and Muslim)

Narrated Irbaadh bin Saaria(raa) that the Messenger of ALLAH(saws) said:

“Save yourself from introducing anything new in the religion, because every innovation will make you go astray.”
Saheeh-(Ibn-e-Majah)  

This is my first letter to you. I want a reply from you all so that I know your response to it. Then the second letter will follow, inshaALLAH.

All my letters will have some basic teachings of AQEEDAH, which will be given by proofs from QUR’AN and HADEETH.

May ALLAH guide all of us to the TRUE PATH. Aameen.
